Japanese Courses for Business in Coventry

Private individuals and professionals in companies all over the UK have profited from undertaking a Japanese Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. Averaging 15 years of experience, our native Japanese speaking qualified teachers construct your course so that your individual requirements are met, no matter what your level of experience. Our Japanese teachers receive excellent feedback from our clients. A profile, containing information about the Japanese teacher’s background and experience, is sent to each student before the Japanese lessons start.

Modern language teaching is now approached much differently to how you might remember learning languages in school. The experience is now much more fun and rewarding. The Communicative Approach, where your Japanese teacher will conduct your lessons almost entirely in Japanese means that progress is made from your very first lesson. Soon, you will have such confidence that using Japanese in a social or business setting will be no problem.

Our Japanese courses are usually offered by our clients as 1:1 training for their employees. Group sessions, however, are also available and can be excellent value for money. Planning is required so that participants all meet at the same time each week, and we recommend that numbers are kept to 6 or less. 1:1 Japanese lessons at Coventry mean that you will have your individual needs, weaknesses and strengths catered for, so that your progress is quicker.

Japanese Course Management

A multi-lingual Account Manager with extensive experience is responsible for each SIMON & SIMON Japanese language course. A profile on your trainer, Course Plan and course materials will be sent to you when you start your Japanese course. After every 40 hours of training you will receive a Progress Report. We will also send you Breaking the Language Barrier, our quarterly newsletter, which contains a wonderful prize draw and valuable language learning resource weblinks.

SIMON & SIMON has arranged Japanese language courses for clients in numerous locations, and with our global network of language trainers we can organise a Japanese language course for you wherever you are – in almost any major city in the UK, Europe and beyond. The vast majority of our Japanese lessons take place at our clients’ offices, removing the need for you to travel, but Japanese lessons can take place in your home if that is more convenient. We can also arrange full-time residential Japanese language courses for you – just contact our office for information on available destinations.

Coventry Japanese Course Schedules

The Japanese language courses in Coventry that we run go on through the year. Each week, most of our students will attend at least one of our 90-minute lessons, but many will do more. We can also arrange Weekend Courses for you. Japanese courses run from Monday to Friday, any time from 8am to 6pm. Intensive Japanese language courses can be arranged in residential centres abroad or in the UK, or on clients’ premises for 30 hours per week, 6 hours a day Monday to Friday.

Before you start your Japanese language course we will assess your level of Japanese and speak to you about your aims so that your Japanese language course can be customised for you. You may have never been exposed to Japanese before and wish to develop basic survival skills, or you may have some experience and wish to be able to speak more fluently in Japanese when discussing business. You may want to further your ability to use Japanese in negotiations and meetings or better your comprehension and pronunciation abilities. Whatever goals you may have, our experienced Japanese language trainers will tailor your Japanese course so that your goals can be quickly met.

Japanese Language Examination Courses

We are happy to help in your preparation for any Japanese examinations. Our students have a 95% pass rate and we think that their success shows the value of our policy of working with above-average experienced Japanese teachers in Coventry. Issuing of results certificates, registration for Japanese examinations and administration of such exams is also provided by SIMON & SIMON.

Japanese is a language spoken by over 130 million people in Japan and in Japanese emigrant communities. Dozens of dialects are spoken in Japan. The profusion is due to many factors, including the length of time the archipelago has been inhabited, its mountainous island terrain, and Japan’s long history of both external and internal isolation. The main distinction in Japanese accents is between Tokyo-type and Kyoto-Osaka-type, though Kyūshū-type dialects form a third, smaller group. Within each type are several subdivisions. Kyoto-Osaka-type dialects are in the central region, with borders roughly formed by Toyama, Kyōto, Hyōgo, and Mie Prefectures; most Shikoku dialects are also that type. The final category of dialects are those that are descended from the Eastern dialect of Old Japanese; these dialects are spoken in Hachijō-jima island and a few others.
